Several Fox News anchors criticized their colleague, Chris Wallace, for the way he handled the first presidential debate as a moderator.

**************

Wallace wasn’t a moderator, he was a debater. He should have been standing at a podium instead of sitting behind a desk.

Wallace is a lowlife slimeball, not fit to moderate a fart-lighting session. (LOL)

And to think Wallace was going to be Trump’s best option as a moderator in the three scheduled debates.

The next debate should have no moderator; like the award show without a host. Many people have often felt that the difference between Chris Wallace and an empty chair is that an empty chair does not get a paycheck.

But, sadly, he may turn out to be the best moderator of the debate season. So let's try an empty chair.

It’s too bad that Sam Kinison is not alive. I would have loved to see him moderate.

One America News (OAN) gave a scathing criticism of Wallace. On another network, Bill O’Reilly said Wallace did not force Biden to answer the question and, when he refused, he let him escape by changing the subject. It would be interesting what he says on Hannity’s show tonight.

Chuck ‘smart-glasses’ Wallace
did a 1st class job
protecting blockhead Biden
and interrupting Pres. Trump.

Soros and Delecto will have a 3some with him
as reward, and Chuck gets the middle.

Wallace was biased as hell and he only stopped the conflict when the President was bearing down hard on Biden.Just ran interference.

From the transcript:

WALLACE: Gentlemen, a lot of people been waiting for this night, so let's get going. Our first subject is the Supreme Court. President Trump, you nominated Amy Coney Barrett over the weekend to succeed the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Court. You say the Constitution is clear about your obligation and the Senate's to consider a nominee to the Court. Vice President Biden, you say that this is an effort by the President and Republicans to jam through on an appointment in what you call an abuse of power. My first question to both of you tonight, why are you right in the argument you make and your opponent wrong? And where do you think a Justice Barrett would take the court? President Trump, in this first segment, you go first. Two minutes.

TRUMP: Thank you very much, Chris. I will tell you very simply. We won the election. Elections have consequences. We have the Senate, we have the White House, and we have a phenomenal nominee respected by all. Top, top academic, good in every way. Good in every way. In fact, some of her biggest endorsers are very liberal people from Notre Dame and other places. So I think she's going to be fantastic. We have plenty of time. Even if we did it after the election itself. I have a lot of time after the election, as you know. So I think that she will be outstanding. She's going to be as good as anybody that has served on that court. We really feel that. We have a professor at Notre Dame, highly respected by all, said she's the single greatest student he's ever had. He's been a professor for a long time at a great school.

And we won the election and therefore we have the right to choose her, and very few people knowingly would say otherwise. And by the way, the Democrats, they wouldn't even think about not doing it. The only difference is they'd try and do it faster. There's no way they would give it up. They had Merrick Garland, but the problem is they didn't have the election so they were stopped. And probably that would happen in reverse, also. Definitely would happen in reverse. So we won the election and we have the right to do it, Chris.

WALLACE: President Trump, thank you. Same question to you, Vice President Biden. You have two minutes.

BIDEN: Well, first of all, thank you for doing this and looking forward to this, Mr. President.

TRUMP: Thank you, Joe.

BIDEN: The American people have a right to have a say in who the Supreme Court nominee is and that say occurs when they vote for United States Senators and when they vote for the President of United States. They're not going to get that chance now because we're in the middle of an election already. The election has already started. Tens of thousands of people already voted and so the thing that should happen is we should wait. We should wait and see what the outcome of this election is because that's the only way the American people get to express their view is by who they elect as President and who they elect as Vice President.

Now, what's at stake here is the President's made it clear, he wants to get rid of the Affordable Care Act. He's been running on that, he ran on that and he's been governing on that. He's in the Supreme Court right now trying to get rid of the Affordable Care Act, which will strip 20million people from having health insurance now, if it goes into court. And the justice, I'm not opposed to the justice, she seems like a very fine person. But she's written, before she went in the bench, which is her right, that she thinks that the Affordable Care Act is not Constitutional. The other thing that's on the court, and if it's struck down, what happens? Women's rights are fundamentally changed. Once again, a woman could pay more money because she has a pre-existing condition of pregnancy. They're able to charge women more for the same exact procedure a man gets.

And that ended when we, in fact, passed the Affordable Care Act, and there's a hundred million people who have pre-existing conditions and they'll be taken away as well. Those pre-existing conditions, insurance companies are going to love this. And so it's just not appropriate to do this before this election. If he wins the election and the Senate is Republican, then he goes forward. If not, we should wait until February.

TRUMP: There aren't a hundred million people with pre-existing conditions. As far as a say is concerned, the people already had their say. Okay, Justice Ginsburg said very powerfully, very strongly, at some point 10 years ago or so, she said a President and the Senate is elected for a period of time, but a President is elected for four years. We're not elected for three years. I'm not elected for three years. So we have the Senate, we have a President-

BIDEN: He's elected to the next election.

TRUMP: During that period of time, during that period of time, we have an opening. I'm not elected for three years. I'm elected for four years. Joe, the hundred million people is totally wrong. I don't know where you got that number. The bigger problem that you have is that you're going to extinguish 180million people with their private health care, that they're very happy with.

BIDEN: That's simply not true.

TRUMP: Well, you're certainly going to socialist. You're going to socialist medicine-

CHRIS WALLACE: Gentlemen, we're now into open discussion.

The bolded sections show that it was Joe Biden who began the interruptions, not President Trump. Trump returned the interruptions afterwards, but it was Biden who interrupted first.

-PJ

You people just don't understand. This debate was not about Trump or Biden. It was about Chris Wallace's ego.

I noticed Wallass wasn’t on Fox and Friends this morning - if the producers thought he did a good job last night they would have had him on, grinning and lapping up all the compliments. But he wasnt, which says alot - I wonder if he appeared on any of the other shows today to take a bow?

Wallace had the chance to have a great debate by allowing Biden to explain his not trues .

Example jobs under each admin.

COVID vs Ebola And Bidens own expert saying he botched it.

Va death claim by Trump.

Why Bidens plan just follows trumps actual actions Re COVID.

Name your major accomplishments during your tenures

Basis for not true on hunter corruption

He could have let them go back and for awhile And had a very informative session

Instead he did his usual it’s more about my rating as a moderator and protecting a Dem which he does every Sunday
